Scruffy-looking untitled Han Solo film thread

Why? Which part of the trailer surprised you?
Ehrenreich's acting for one thing, he is a much better Han then I expected. The tone of the film, it's light, fun, has the Star Wars spirit, the trailer itself sells it well with the music.
 
I'm more enthusiastic than I was before last night. Which doesn't say a lot but at least now I'm not on the automatic "this thing is gonna suck big time" train.
 
Please, don't get him started again.
I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the film that the Falcon gets really trashed. I'm not sure what the movie is about but since Woody Harrelson is putting a crew together I'm guessing it's a heist movie. it looks good though I have to say Ehrenreich's voice is a little annoying. It will take a bit to get used to it since he sounds different than Ford.
I'm wondering if we're possibly getting a train heist, we did see some kind of a train a couple times during the trailer.
 

He doesn't. Star Wars is more than just a generic space fantasy in the vein of something like Buck Rodgers or Flash Gordon, but Kasdan doesn't talk about or understand the mythological underpinnings that set it apart, and has admitted as much in interviews, and his involvement was as much a contributing factor as to why The Force Awakens turned out to be the "ANH" clone that it was as J.J. Abrams' involvement.
 
Qi'ra sounds like the name originally bandied about for the character who eventually became Rey. Star Wars rarely lets an unused name go to waste!
 
I was just about to post a link to a CBR article wondering if Thandie Newton was Sana "Solo", but I guess this article probably disproves that.
 
This might be the first major Star Wars theatrical release will to not have R2-D2 and C-3PO in it.

But they still might toss them in somewhere.
 
Unless they find a way to shoehorn one or both into the story, in a manner similar to how both were given glorified cameos early in Season 1 of Rebels just so they could make appearances.

Along with Lucas, Kasdan pretty much defined what Star Wars was about...fans second-guessing him nearly four decades later to the contrary.

Do we know where they would be at this point in the canon timeline?

I believe it was originally "Kira" at least from the TFA concept art. I like that name and am glad to see it back.
 
That's funny. Empire and Jedi were his partial brainchildren, and both of those films seemed to "get" what Star Wars is about.

Because of the involvement of George Lucas.

It's not "second-guessing him nearly four decades later to the contrary"; it's taking his own statements in interviews at face value and applying them to the presentation of the content available.

No, you're viewing it all through the lens of your personal opinion and interpreting it to suit.

Do you ever give any thought to how anything is actually written, as distinct from what people say about it afterward?

No clue. We know they're the property of the Royal Household of Alderaan for about 20 years but they go on their own adventures from time to time depending on where they are at a given moment. They could be anywhere in the galaxy at the time of this film, but they're definitely in the service of Bail Organa, Leia and Captain Antilles.
